I was thrilled to find that Justin Currie has released a second solo CD, ‘The Great War.’ After having listened to the samples on Amazon, a unanimous verdict was reached: We must have this CD. Granted, I’m incredibly biased in that there are only three Del Amitri songs that I don’t actually like, and [...]

Nostalgia

Here, on the other side of my night of panic, I’m feeling a bit nostalgic. Nostalgia can be a powerful thing. It can wrap you up in the past so badly that you forget to live the present. But, it can also motivate you. It can help you see the patterns in your life that [...]
Lost in Myself

Sometimes I feel like a twisted version of Narcissus, staring at my own reflection until it takes over and drowns me. The difference is I’m not ever sure who is staring back at me. I’m getting rather tired of constantly having to reassess my life. At one point, things actually felt stable. Maybe I’m in [...]

I haven’t been half bitter in my oblivion these days, and Mairead is having a great deal of fun with that. A few weeks ago we heard very loud music coming from her room. When I pointedly asked her to turn down the music, she leaned out of her door and screamed ‘PARTY!!!!’. As I’ve [...]
Goodbye Letters

My therapist suggested writing goodbye letters as a technique I could use to help me move along those pesky grief stages. I’ve been avoiding that suggestion for quite some time, but when she brought it up again during this past session, I gave it serious consideration. You only have to beat me about the head [...]

The title to yet another Del Amitri song that I love. Part of the bridge to that song goes ‘Wet feet visit the same old places. Finding nothing new. It’s a bin full of tissues from made-up faces in a town full of nothing to do.’ That’s certainly ringing true for me these days. I [...]
The Oblivious Week So Far
Posted in The Week So Far, tagged alters, del amitri, family of choice, justin currie, news articles on 9 July 2008 | 2 Comments »
I say oblivious because my others have been out quite alot more than me this week. Yesterday Mairead and I got the gift we’ve been waiting for– Justin Currie’s solo CD called ‘What Is Love For.’ I know this will come as a great surprise to the regular visitors here, but I highly recommend the [...]
The Tentatively Better Week So Far

It really has been a better week. Probably the best in a while, actually. I say tentatively only because it’s still a bit of a battle to keep my mind focused on the present and out of the not-so-pleasant past. Once again, this is another way singletons and multiples are alike– staying focused gives everyone [...]
